This was the thought that came to me this afternoon at about 3:17pm. I was re-reading some favorite moments of Jane Eyre, when I abruptly came to this conclusion and decided to do something about it.
What do I mean by 'do something about it', you may ask? Why, run-all-over-the-house-collecting-all-of-my-favorite-books-into-categorized-groups-and-take-pictures-for-the-next-half-hour-so-I-could-blog-about-it, of course!!!
Naturally.
So that's what I did, and now you get to see the fruits of my labor - I had so much fun pulling books off the shelves, arranging them and taking pictures - each one of these books has so many memories attached to them, a flood of good times, a moment of bliss suspended forever...you get the idea. This was fun.
 |
| Here are my 'pretty books' - random fairy tales with elaborate illustrations and beautiful messages and inspire the mind forever :) |
 |
| And then there are my juvenile/young adult (to use the proper terminology) pretty books :D Ahh, bliss... |
 |
| Then there are those old, dear, wonderful books that simply can NOT be replaced... (so sorry this one's crooked..it kept uploading that way and I can't fix it :( ) |
 |
| And then there are those amazing 'Bethlehem Books', as we've always called them. One small little problem - there is one favorite of mine that is scandalously absent from this photo! No, I don't own a copy of 'They Loved To Laugh', the reason for which has oddly escaped me...hmmm... |
So there you have my little pretties...now, there are TONS of books missing from this little diary, because I didn't go into my sisters room and ravage her shelves...that would have taken like...3 hours at least, and I would have felt some..less-than-pleasant consequences for such actions, so we'll just have to do without such lovelies as Witch of Blackbird Pond or the entire Betsy-Tacy series. (don't get me started on Jenny B Jones...) now I shall go and continue reading NEW findings...old to the world, new for me...you know how it is. :)

I appreciate the fact that you didn't mess up my highly organized piles of books. :) Though you do know that I own a copy (old hardcover--smells amazing!) of "They Loved To Laugh" right?
I didn't think of it...and anyway, it's not the copy that I read...Heidi has that. And there's something about having the one that you read the first time.....I should still check it out of your library, though ;)
You are welcome to borrow it any time you'd like!
